Trump Reacts Angrily When Asked About Iran War Plan

President Trump reacted defensively when a reporter asked if he had a concrete plan for the escalating war with Iran during a meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun in the Oval Office. When the reporter noted no signs Iran is ready to stop fighting, Trump claimed Iran 'wants to meet desperately' because they are 'getting decimated,' but offered no specific strategy. The article reports 10 days of back-and-forth strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran holding the Strait of Hormuz and receiving Houthi support. Three US service members have been killed since Friday. The piece also notes rising oil prices and the Pentagon running out of money and weapons, framing the US approach as continued bombing until something changes.
